🔗 Share this article I will overwhelm 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua is set to fight the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be shown live on the streaming platform. Briton Anthony Joshua said he will "dominate completely" the American and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's bout. Ex twice world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, theoretically, a mammoth uneven pairing - at Miami's arena on December 19th. Boxer's Mentality "I will injure his face and damage his physique. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," the British boxer, 35, said. "I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality. "I'm going to really want to cause him pain. That's my goal." Civil Exchange Despite such comments, a calm Joshua and internet personality Paul - usually recognized for his showmanship - exchanged pleasantries and maintained decorum with each other. Jake Paul instead attacked former Joshua rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "a joke" after the Cameroonian turned down a match opportunity. Taking Aim at Fury Joshua, at the same time, targeted UK opponent Tyson Fury - and refused a million-pound wager 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a Paul win. "Jake Paul outshines Tyson Fury - he showed up," Joshua said. "I give him credit for that." Serious Opponent In spite of saying he intends to hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's fighting skills. "Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he remarked. Paul's History Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily boxed MMA fighters or faded names since turning professional. He lost to British fighter Tommy Fury in last year. Financial Attraction Nevertheless, the relative newcomer remains one of boxing's largest commercial attractions, consistently making huge earnings. Forecast and Belief The 28-year-old forecast a knockout win in the fourth or fifth round and claimed he would derail the much-anticipated Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for 2026. "It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury next year," Paul stated. Size Difference As Joshua and Paul engaged in the customary confrontation, with their height and weight contrast clearly visible, it drove home just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the fight is truly going ahead.
